Every day, cashiers across Canada are exposed to high levels of hormone-disrupting bisphenols (like BPA and BPS) from receipts. Canada’s five leading grocery retailers – Costco, Loblaws, Metro, Sobeys, and Walmart – need to protect their cashiers and customers by getting rid of these toxic receipts.

Exposure to bisphenols is increasingly linked to health conditions such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children, reproductive health problems, obesity, and hormone-related cancers such as breast and prostate cancer.

Everyone deserves a safe and healthy work environment. That’s why we, alongside Environmental Defence Canada, Breast Cancer Action Quebec, and Mind the Store, urge these companies to take immediate action. Toxic bisphenols are no longer needed on receipts because safer alternatives, such as bisphenol-free receipts, are readily available.
